Signs You Have a Fire Ant Problem
Fire ants aren't always difficult to recognize, but there may be far more activity underground than what you see on the surface. Common signs of fire ants include:
-
Raised soil mounds throughout the lawn
-
Multiple colonies appearing after rainfall
-
Fire ants swarming when a mound is disturbed
-
Ant activity around sidewalks, driveways, patios, or landscaping
-
Fire ants near children's play areas
-
Colonies appearing around irrigation or moist areas
-
Painful ant stings while walking or working in the yard
-
New mounds appearing shortly after older ones are treated
-
One visible mound doesn't necessarily mean you're dealing with only one colony.
-
That's why treating individual mounds may not be enough for properties experiencing widespread fire ant activity.
Seeing Fire Ant Mounds in Your Cypress Yard?
Let Alco treat the property instead of chasing one mound after another.
Whole Yard Fire Ant Treatment in Cypress, TX
Fire ant control works differently from simply spraying an active mound.
Our comprehensive fire ant service is designed to address fire ants throughout the property.
Alco uses multiple treatment methods because each one serves a different purpose.
Fire Ant Bait
Fire ant bait is designed to be carried back into the colony by worker ants. Rather than only targeting the ants visible above ground, bait helps reach fire ants where the colony lives.
Broadcast Granular Treatment
We apply granular fire ant treatment across the yard to provide broader property coverage.
This is an important part of our whole yard approach because fire ant colonies may exist in areas where a mound isn't yet obvious.
Active Mound Treatment
Visible active fire ant mounds are treated directly as part of the comprehensive service.
Combining these approaches allows us to target both existing visible colonies and fire ant activity throughout the yard.

Our 1 Year Fire Ant Colony Elimination Guarantee
This is one of the biggest differences between our comprehensive fire ant treatment and simply treating individual mounds yourself.
When Alco performs our comprehensive whole yard fire ant service, it comes with a:
1 Year Colony Elimination Guarantee
If fire ant colonies return during the guarantee period, Alco will retreat your property for free.
No questions asked.
We don't expect you to spend the next year chasing new fire ant mounds around your yard.
Fire Ants Came Back?
If your property is covered by our comprehensive treatment guarantee, we'll come back and retreat it.
Why Do Fire Ants Keep Coming Back?
This is one of the most common frustrations homeowners have with fire ants. You treat one mound. It disappears. Then another one seems to pop up somewhere else.
The problem is that treating only the mound you can see may not address other colonies throughout the property.
Fire ants can establish colonies in:
-
Open lawn areas
-
Flower beds
-
Around trees
-
Near fences
-
Along sidewalks
-
Around patios
-
Near irrigation
-
Around landscape borders
-
Other sunny or disturbed areas of the yard
Weather can also make fire ant activity suddenly much more noticeable. After rainfall, colonies may rebuild visible mounds or move closer to the soil surface.

Fire Ant Control for Cypress Families
Fire ants aren't just an inconvenience. Their aggressive behavior can make yards uncomfortable for children, pets, guests, and anyone spending time outdoors. When a fire ant mound is disturbed, multiple ants can quickly swarm and sting.
That can make everyday activities like:
-
Playing in the yard
-
Gardening
-
Mowing
-
Walking barefoot
-
Hosting backyard gatherings
-
Letting children play outside
-
Spending time around patios or pools
much less enjoyable.
Your yard should be somewhere your family can enjoy, not somewhere everyone is constantly checking the ground for fire ant mounds.
Make Your Yard Enjoyable Again
Fire Ants Around Pools, Patios & Play Areas
Some of the worst places to find fire ants are exactly where your family spends the most time.
Fire ants may establish colonies near:
-
Swimming pools
-
Pool decking
-
Patios
-
Swing sets
-
Play equipment
-
Outdoor kitchens
-
Walkways
-
Driveways
-
Gardens
-
Lawn seating areas
Children and pets may accidentally disturb a colony before realizing it's there.
A whole yard approach helps address fire ant activity across the property instead of focusing only on one recreational area.
Finding Fire Ants Where Your Family Plays?
Why DIY Fire Ant Treatment May Not Be Enough
Store bought mound treatments can kill ants in a specific location, but repeatedly treating individual mounds can become frustrating when colonies continue appearing around the yard.
The challenge is that the ants you're seeing above ground are only part of the colony.
A comprehensive treatment approach can provide broader control than simply reacting whenever another mound appears.
Alco's whole yard service combines:
Bait + Broadcast Treatment + Active Mound Treatment
to address the property more comprehensively.
And our comprehensive service comes with that 1 year colony elimination guarantee.
Stop Treating One Mound at a Time
Fire Ant Control vs. General Pest Control
Fire ant treatment is different from routine household pest control.
Our comprehensive fire ant service is specifically designed to address fire ant colonies throughout the yard.
If you're also dealing with household pests such as fire ants, roaches, earwigs, silverfish, occasional spiders, or other common pests, visit our Cypress Pest Control page to learn about Alco's general pest control services.

Fire Ant Control FAQs for Cypress, TX
What is the best way to get rid of fire ants in my Cypress yard?
A comprehensive approach can be more effective than repeatedly treating individual mounds. Alco's whole yard fire ant service combines fire ant bait, broadcast granular treatment, and treatment of active mounds.
Do you treat the entire yard for fire ants?
Yes. Alco's comprehensive fire ant service is a whole yard treatment, rather than simply treating one visible mound.
Does your Cypress fire ant treatment have a guarantee?
Yes. Our comprehensive whole yard fire ant treatment includes a 1 year colony elimination guarantee. If fire ant colonies return during the guarantee period, Alco will retreat the property free of charge, no questions asked.
Why do fire ant mounds appear after it rains?
Rainfall and changing soil conditions can cause fire ants to move within their colonies and rebuild mounds closer to the surface, making existing colonies much more noticeable.
Can fire ants sting more than once?
Yes. Fire ants can sting repeatedly, and disturbing a colony may cause numerous ants to swarm very quickly.
Should I treat only the fire ant mounds I can see?
Visible mound treatment can address individual colonies, but there may be other fire ant activity elsewhere in the yard. That's why Alco's comprehensive service combines active mound treatment with bait and broadcast granular treatment throughout the property.
Do clean or well-maintained yards get fire ants?
Absolutely. Fire ants aren't an indication that your yard is poorly maintained. Suitable soil, moisture, food sources, and environmental conditions can allow colonies to establish in almost any Cypress lawn.
Do you provide fire ant control throughout Cypress, TX?
Yes. Alco Pest Control provides professional fire ant treatment for homeowners in Cypress and surrounding Houston-area communities.
